NIL nightmare? Ian Jackson signs with adidas

Posted Feb 16, 2024
Here is when it gets interesting with NIL. On Wednesday, 5-star UNC Basketball signee Ian Jackson entered into an agreement with adidas to utilize their name-image-likeness as a brand ambassador. No matter what Jackson is paid by adidas, he cannot wear their shoes or apparel when he is on the court for the Tar Heels, because UNC is a Nike school. (Chapelboro.com)
